Ingrients & Directions
1 c Shortening
1 1/2 c Sugar; brown
2 Eggs
1 c Molasses
1 c Syrup, corn white or golden
1 1/2 c Milk
3 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ginger
2 ts Cinnamon
6 c Flour
This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to explain
better: Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses and syrup.
Then sift together the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the flour
and milk. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in a 375 degree oven. The molasses in
the cookies make them very prone to burn so check often.. the recipe could
be halved as this makes about 80 cookies!!
